In this podcast we feature stories that didn’t make the final cut for the live radio show, but they are excellent stories and need to be shared. In this edition, we have a sweet story about Ella the cat from her dad Tim Herron. This story was submitted for our “Paws and Reflect: Stories about our Four-Legged Friends.” Sadly, soon after the show aired, Ella passed away. Here is Tim’s remembrance of dear Ella.

In this podcast we feature stories that didn’t make the final cut for the live radio show, but they are excellent stories and need to be shared. This memory comes from Guerry McConnell. We collected several stories about Storytelling Festival Founder Jimmy Neil Smith that were featured in the “County Boy with a Dream” edition of the Radio Show. We had so many, we couldn’t possibly feature them all. Here’s a sweet memory from Guerry about how Jimmy Neil was involved in her wedding.

In this podcast we feature stories that didn’t make the final cut for the live radio show, but they are excellent stories and need to be shared. This story was written years ago by Leon Overbay, the Boones Creek Bard. He was a founder of the StoryTown Radio Show, an avid storyteller, and story collector. We had so many memories to share during our 15th anniversary “Greatest Hits” show in March, that we couldn’t make them all fit, so we wanted to share this one here. We miss our friend Leon, but we know he’s still telling stories from on high. Enjoy “Church Camp” read by Paul Harris and Stephen Goodman.
